    sorry, but that's ridiculous. Those smilies are prolly used 95% of the time for OTHER uses than "scaring newbies off". I thought we were all grown-ups here?

    Also, I fail to see how the confused smiley isn't "being nice".

    If by 'confused', people mean the arm-waving yellow one, I always thought he looked angry rather than confused and nearly every one I saw was being used by one poster to be horrid to another!
    Wouldn't 'confused' be adequately covered by one of these - :huh::doh:?

    Didn't think the rolling eyes one was too bad though.

    Thats just ridiculous! Do you really think a few smilies will stop negative posts, besides which can you explain how a "confused" smilie is even remotely offensive to anyone, why don't we get rid of ALL smilies just in case they upset a few posters?:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    If you want sarcasm WELL DONE :T:T:T:T:T:T:D
    :A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A

    Marleyboy You Are A Legend!
    Marleyboy speaks sense
    marleyboy (total legend)
    Marleyboy - You are, indeed, a legend.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:, My tea just spurted everywhere when i read your post!!! xxxxx
    Truthfully, these smileys are all old and boring, I've always used ones from smileyplanet as they are alot more fun, Can't we just be done with them all and start again with more relevant ones for mse, ones which would cover mse boards main topics xxxx
